Hundreds of people in east Bexar County are relieved after their homes were removed from a floodplain zone. Brian Guillorey grew up here in Kirby, living along the floodplain for more than 30 years, so seeing high water during a storm was never any surprise. “It looks like a river, I actually made jokes about it because my dad used to have a boat and I would joke about taking the boat out there and driving the boat and stuff,” said Kirby resident Brian Guillorey.
